The removal of soil from the Foster Floodplain Natural Area will require short-term lane restrictions on SE 112th Avenue at SE Cooper Street beginning Thursday, September 11, through Friday, September 26, on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The traveling public is advised to expect minimal delays, travel cautiously and observe all lane restrictions and directions by flaggers.  

The lane restrictions are necessary to allow dump trucks to merge safely onto SE 112th Avenue from SE Cooper Street. Flaggers will temporarily stop traffic in both directions as trucks exist SE Cooper Street, cross the southbound lane of SE 112th Avenue and proceed north to Foster Road. 

This project will remove a large stockpile of soil related to the Johnson Creek Floodplain Restoration Project.
